Vans

Cult Vans sneakers in the shoe dealer store

Under the direction of Van Doren and his three partners, the first store opened in Anaheim, California in March 1966. Vans (originally Van Doren Rubber Company) adapts to and promotes trend sports. Not least, skateboarding greats such as Tony Alva, Steve Caballero and Geoff Rowley were sponsored by Vans. The latter even got his own Vans shoe collection tailored to his body. The annual Warped Tour proves that Vans reflects punk rock in skateboarding like no other label. Vans has not only established itself in the skate scene with its shoes, but also plays a leading role in the lifestyle sector! The slogan "Vans of the wall", which means crazy, crazy, proves the distinctiveness of the label!

At the top of the wide Vans range is the Sk8-Hi, which was formerly also known as Hi-Top. It was the world's first shoe designed primarily for skateboarding. In appearance, the Hi Top resembled the Chuck from Converse, but the Vans version was much more stable and solid and offered skaters with its waffle sole significantly more grip. Today, the Sk8 Hi is produced in changing color and pattern collections. In the Schuhdealer online store you can also find the Vans Authentic and Era, which enrich the market over decades again and again with new trendy colors. An absolute lifestyle shoe of its kind is the Vans Chukka, elegant and mostly finished in leather. The Rata is a moccasin-like shoe that is especially well received by surfers. The removable insole allows the shoe to be rolled up and fit in the smallest pocket. A special highlight in the Vans collection is the Slip On. The shoe without laces is popular among skaters, among others. The low-top is a comfortable shoe to slip in and feel good, which is often worn in the lifestyle scene, but also emo or punk scene. Probably the most famous slip-on is the black and white checkered, which also conquers the fashion world under the name Checkerboard. Not only men and women - no, children are also supplied with cool shoes. The waffle sole, which always appears with Vans, is the ultimate distinguishing feature of the various shoe types.
